The most relatable piece of this article, as a college kid in Bangalore, is this
> For some reason Bangalore is crawling with people who first want to form a community and then start learning/working/whatever. These efforts almost invariably peter out uselessly. First do the work. Then if you feel like "communing" talk to others who are also working hard.
- asplake 7y agoNot for a long time a student and not from Bangalore (though I have visited a couple of times), but that footnote stood out for me too
- devxpy 7y agoMy opinion: It's sad that we have such a terrible education system. It's an insult to injury that the "BigCo" consistently fuel these learning groups as a marketing stunt. I can't begin to describe the sheer amount of bright peers that think using the GCP/Amazon web interface is equivalent to real programming.
- wsxcde 7y agoAs someone below noted, there's nothing Bangalore-specific about this. This is coming from a native Bangalorean who moved away about eight years ago. It's just human nature to want to sit around and chat rather than actually spend hours of your time on hard work which may or may not pan out into something useful.
